This is a short hike that is enjoyable year round and good for families.
At the parking lot at the top of Michelle drive you start up the gated fire road. As you come around the bend, you'll see a road heading up on your left. Take this up to the summit. At the summit you'll be able to sit on the hill side and enjoy the view. If you stray off the road at the summit, watch for poison oak.

From Corvallis take HWY 99 W north about 3 miles to Lewisburg Road. Take a left at the light and follow Lewisburg to where it ends at Michelle Drive. Follow Michelle drive to the top where it ends at a parking lot. This is your starting point with a great view. If you want, you can combine this hike with the Michelle Drive hike for a great workout.

This was an okay/easy and short hike/walk. I was expecting more views from the summit but when you get there it's just a flat overgrown area with trees all around. It was still a nice hike and walk, and when you park that offers the best view. Since it's a short hike out and back, we continued on the main road until we hit the old growth trail start if you want to extend your walk.

Perfect for a short hike. I like to hike 4 days a week so I do a super steep long hike then the following day I do this short hike to keep active.
